How not to play bloodbowl: 1D blocks and blitzes, jump into double tackle zones, 5men first line as elves, picking the ball unsupported, throwing a pass at a player that's surrounded...
DeuZerre I only ever played the board game once when I worked for Games Workshop. I didn't like it. Much preferred HeroQuest :) but yes, I saw people play like in the video and they always got toasted.
Matthias Andersen It's weird because in the tabletop game you can't do that. You have to declare all of your player's actions at once and then see how they resolve. If you want to leap, then blitz and then run the ball in with two go for its, you have to decide that before you start rolling any dice. You don't get to resolve them one at a time and then change your mind if one of the rolls doesn't go well. But I guess that doesn't excuse the developers of the PC game that doesn't use that rule from doing it.
Looking pretty damn good, I really hope all the cinematic effects are just for the trailers though or if they are in game then they better let you turn them all off if you want!
People talk about not having all the races like in the Blood Bowl Chaos Edition and forget that Chaos Edition was the second expansion. The first Blood Bowl started with 8 races, 9 if you count the patch they added later. Blood Bowl 2 starts with you guessed it 8, 9 if you count the pre-order. I get being mad over pre-order stuff, but don't act like the game is incomplete because of "lack" of races.
Swampfox0013 No, because it was missing some teams and some star players and some skills and not all the rules were correct and the overtime didn't work right. So, maybe YOU should do some research before you open your stupid fucking mouth, you ignorant moron.
Really not liking the way the dice animate so that the top face is so small, and almost covered by the other UI elements. Hope that's something they work on before release.
Are cheerleaders for each race are going to be dlc too? or are we stuck with the human ones :P I know silly thing to be concerned about but hey the first game had them.
Not really a fan of how they made the Dark elves look appearancewise in this video(aside the Witchelves) granted this might be closer to how the old models look, but personally it's the 6'th and 7'th ed dark elves that made me a fan of the army. I don't think the players look meanacing enough, though i guess a change in skin color and worse weather could make wonders)
I'm going to get the game, but I expect it'll be crap like all the other cyanide released bloodbowl themed stuff. I predict thse shortcommings: The commentaries will again have too few lines to say. The game won't let you pick which version of the rules you're playing with. Won't let you create custom enemy teams, or have teams of varying rankings to play against. Won't have a proper box where you can see rolls. Won't remember your zoom or chat settings. Won't have a proper interface for starting lineup. Won't have a fluid and pain free interface. Won't have a working multiplayer mode with bots in case they fuck up the multiplayer keys again or nobody with a similarly rated team is around to play. Will send information in french to people who register in English, again. Won't have a working update feature (unless it's on steam) Won't have eliminated the most obvious bugs prior to release. Won't have 'next gen' graphics expected from games released in 2013 or later.
+Richard Roos oh God! The feminists are even saying cheerleading is sexist now >< 'sigh' at this rate, every female competition or pre-established tradition that DIDN'T originate as a male oriented vocation is gonna be called sexist :P
BULLSHIT! I`ve played this game over 150 hours and I promise you that 95%+ of the games you play with that stile won`t sucseed, espesially with Dark Elves (which is my favourite race). Why? 1) This game they played a 1660 TV team vs 1470 TV. Usually, you should be thankfull for having a match vs a team with the same TV. 2) A low-armored Assasin tried to Stab (requires a pure Armore roll) a naturally well-armored dwarf? Pfff..The Assasin is more likely to fail his stab (71%) and get some punishment a round later. 3) The 2nd turn of the elves is insanely and stupidly lucky. All in all, this is just promo-video and you should know that DaE are a hard nutt to crackle and you won`t play them easy. Btw, if you can do good rolls such as in the video, throw away your gaming device and buy a ticket to Las Vegas!
Sorry, I think it looks terrible. It's just an updated engine with completely unnecessary graphic visualizations. They even kept the exact same background noise. (Yes, I do try to hurt my opponent.) If the finished product has half the bugs that Chaos Edition has, it won't be worth 1/4 their asking price. I might consider otherwise if they would actually finish the previous game before asking for money for a new one.
screamingmeanie most people who tried the game at E3 would disagree with you, and are saying they game is way better in all aspects and not just visuals
Dean Wilkinson Most people at E3 are fanboys that aren't worth my time. From their website: "E3 is a professional trade event and is not open to the general public. Individuals who are not able to document their direct and current professional affiliation to the interactive entertainment industry are not qualified to attend." I would hardly call that an unbiased opinion.
screamingmeanie actually the people i refering too are actually some the most cruel critics in the industry, they will pick and the most minor flaw and make big deal of it, as its thier job to do so, they was already skeptical before they played it but was more shocked that they liked it after they played it

DeuZerre And queuing up for two Go For Its instead of taking them one at a time...
Voron Vornoroff I'll take you any day with halflings if you play like in the demo, even if you play Chaos!
DeuZerre I only ever played the board game once when I worked for Games Workshop. I didn't like it. Much preferred HeroQuest :) but yes, I saw people play like in the video and they always got toasted.
Hero quest, it was quite good!
Bloodbowl is kinda tedious on the board, but in a video game it's fun.

"this witch is really scare me"
"you should see my ex wife"
This looks like when I used to play BB against the computer.
But I played dwarfs...
Looking pretty damn good, I really hope all the cinematic effects are just for the trailers though or if they are in game then they better let you turn them all off if you want!
6+ pass, 5+ catch, 3+ leap, one-die blitz, no re-roll.
Ezpz.
Nuffle favors those who pre-render their shite.

Swampfox0013 It is incomplete and the first game was incomplete, too, and still is as a matter of fact.
Harry BuddhaPalm How was the first game incomplete? Just because it didn't have everything YOU wanted in it?
Swampfox0013
No, because it was missing some teams and some star players and some skills and not all the rules were correct and the overtime didn't work right. So, maybe YOU should do some research before you open your stupid fucking mouth, you ignorant moron.
they have 2 other ones they are adding as dlc right after release
Am I the only one scared, yet hopeful for Bretts?
They were always my favorite faction in the wargame
Really not liking the way the dice animate so that the top face is so small, and almost covered by the other UI elements. Hope that's something they work on before release.
Looks good so far. Can't wait
Looks awesome, can't wait for release!!
I want this game so badly that it hurts... IT HURTZ!!!
Are cheerleaders for each race are going to be dlc too? or are we stuck with the human ones :P I know silly thing to be concerned about but hey the first game had them.

Already pre-ordered :)
Looks amazing!
Well well..... Ony Bads Moves...1 Dice bloc etc...
Don't play like this kids !!
Evilstein1 If someone were able to pull all these virtually impossible plays on me i'd be raging pretty hard.
They had 190 higher TV and still got to hire a star?

dark elves, my favourites, it will be good campaign in bb2
So definitively we are'nt going to see other races cheerleaders?
Alejandro Nieto smells like DLC-bullshit
Alejandro Nieto me want bearded dwarven cheerleaders
Yeah Because people said its sexist
+Khelgar Ironfist With a second beard in a place where you dont want it to be
+Richard Roos oh God! The feminists are even saying cheerleading is sexist now >< 'sigh' at this rate, every female competition or pre-established tradition that DIDN'T originate as a male oriented vocation is gonna be called sexist :P
Такие везучие прям, что звездец. У меня бы еще на подборе мяча все зафейлилось.
Kung Fu Elves more like :-O
leap to move and then declaring a blitz..........
tehwarl0ck leap is an action, so he leaped, blitzed, then moved. You can see "leap, "blitz", and "move" as options on the menu popup.
Watch it again, he declared a blitz first, then leaped, which allows him to block afterwards.
i'm sure i'll love the game but i'm not buying it until all the races are included.
Romuald Théate or at least a race I want to play.
there's already a bug !
the scorer shouldn 't be able to declare the blitz after the leap !!!
Not that it matters since this is 4years ago, but the blitz was already decoared before the leap
YUK!!
Epic
i really hope the AI is better than in BB1
+Boile Boilesson it is
I love the girls in blood bowl
witch elves seem to have much more conservative outift this time
The witches aren't as sexualized as in the previous game :(
hmm 4 onec i wanted a football game.sad face it more or lass that more turn base. kinda really wanted to see tham play real football that be neat.
Yay for pre-scripted terrible play, to do this for real is a 1% chance of victory! (4 1D blocks, 2 gfis, pass and catch in 3 tackle zones >.
ts550506 he has nerves of steel so no mods for catching and leap means no tackle zone mods just a -1 for leap so not a bad play.
BULLSHIT!

NightGames last I checked this wasn't a "how to play Dark Elves" video....

+screamingmeanie Angry Joe can be pretty brutal when critiquing games (even from franchises he loves)
